I'm having problems with blurry text. I'm using a DVI to HDMI cable. I've tried adjusting the scaling, refresh rate, true text.

You have two issues here. The first is the physical size of your screen and second is the resolution of 720p. Sometimes bigger isn't better.

I do have to say when I connected and turned it on for the first time with no adjustments I was very disappointed in the text! That was because all my setting were for an older 17", none wide screen, max 1280 x 800 display. I made a few display (1920x1080), brightness (50), and contrast (75) adjustments after which for me the text was crisp and compared to my older monitor I don't feel the eye strain.

I know this is matte, but it was not answered here. The problem with matte finish is they make the text fuzzy or blurry which is the reason I hate matte. So can somebody please tell me how is the text on this monitor. My U2412M which my son uses mostly in games, gives me a headache when I uses it to read news, stock rating, reviews like this.

I just bought Vizio XVT473SV from Dell, which was delivered last week. Worked fine for a day or so, but I'm noticing some screen distortion/flickering occasionally. Also some audio cut-out. Some posts suggest this might be standard def vs HD channel issues. (cable) I've not had any indication of visual or audio problem yet when using the Internet Apps or when hooking up my laptop to it. But it doesn't always work right when I turn it on with it tuned to the cable box. The problem this morning with flickering was a situation with TV/cable turned on, cable tuned to a standard def channel from the night before. I tuned to an HD channel, the screen still flickered. I turned off cable and tv. Turned back on and all was well. I'm not happy to be seeing these kinds of problems within a day of having the tv though.

I can't answer David's question, but I have one of my own. From day one I have never had a clear picture. There are lines moving through the screen all the time. The darker the back ground the worse the lines are. Thanks

Was only able to go up 1080P@60hz by default ... I am using a gtx 670 for the test.I did a custom resolution through nv control panel and it actually go up to 2560x1440 but it didn't look good at all. DVI and DisplayPort seem to have no issues with it.

I will have to return it, Just the 2nd day i had it, the screen was acting weird, it will dim and get blurry. Can someone help me before i return it?

Yes, I have, that's why I bought it. A few things. There aren't any DVI ports so you'll have to connect either RGB or HDMI. My video card only has DVI ports so I had to get a DVI-HDMI connector. Also, I have played with the adjustments a lot. My nvidia settings report the native resolution being 1920x1080, but it's actually 1366x768. Anything higher or lower and the text looks really crappy, blurry and whatnot. This is when you connect it via HDMI. To tell you the truth, it's not too bad, I have only had it a couple of weeks as well and I am still adjusting it. Haier's website is no help though.

I haven't tried HDMI to DVI. I can't really test it either because I don't have that kind of cable. I can't see why is shouldn't work though. The output is pretty much a passthrough.

Sorry have never experienced that issue, have you tried using another HDMI or DVI cable to try and rule out if that seems to be the issue?

Fuzzy lines that are not all the time mean interference. Search Amazon for "ferrite bead" and get one of the ferrite clips. I have them on all of my HDMI cords. Usually the reason to buy more expensive HDMI cords is because they are more insulated to prevent interference, but it is cheaper to get a clip on ferrite bead. If you only have one, clip it on the side with the monitor/tv. You can clip it on both sides of the cord if you have multiple. I just want to note that if you have fuzzy letters or image, then there might be a resolution conflict. For example, you are outputting 1080p when your screen only supports 720p. Another common problem that causes blurryness is overscan in screens which cuts off the edges of the image and then resizes the image to fit full screen. They do this because cable television usually comes in with weird white lines on the edges and overscan removes that. You can sometimes disable this in the screen's settings. Hopefully this solves your problem!

If you fins something please let me know. The contrast of the screen is terrible!!!

Be sure to follow Chompy's advice, turn the sharpness level to *zero*. That helps a lot. At first I was so disappointed with the performance of this tv for xbox one. After I turned the sharpness level to 0 everything changed. It's not blur anymore and the quality of the picture is amazing!

Are you using the cable that came with the monitor? I had some issues getting mine setup, but it was related to the cable I was using. You may want to try using a different cable rated for the high resolution that the monitor offers.

Make sure your monitor is tuned in properly to the right channel. It needs to be on DVI, not VGA or HDMI.

I remembered to push one of the button to adjust output format. You might want to try that to make sure the output format matches your monitor.
